Again, the Board of LLT would like to thank everyone who took the time to respond to our survey. We met and, based on your feedback, we'd like you to know what we plan to do while we are dealing with the COVID-19 situation. The written responses basically fell into three categories:
• Health concerns • Play selection • Readers Theatre
HEALTH CONCERNS:
We are looking at what could be possible with a "soft reopening". We plan to start slowly with a single readers theatre show on the Angel Terrace, target date mid-September. We have selected the play (a comedy), acquired rights and will hold auditions. A sub-committee was formed to look at what can be done in accordance with the feedback you provided about what would make you feel comfortable. We understand that some people won't feel comfortable until the virus is eradicated and others are willing to participate if they feel safe. These are some of the steps that we plan to take:
• We will have a digital thermometer to take temperatures of all entering.
• Hand sanitizer will be available throughout the facility. • Everyone is required to wear masks before, during and after
any performance, as long as you are on LLT property. • Seating on the Angel Terrace will be arranged with 6 feet
distance in each direction. • We will use the outside stage for a readers theatre
performance. • All of the seats and other high-touch surfaces will be sanitized
before each performance. • People will enter and exit the venue in a controlled manner to
ensure that there is no crowding. • There will be no bar service, but every patron will be given a
complimentary bottle of water. PLAY SELECTION
In response to a request for transparency about how we select plays, the following is the process the Play Reading Committee (PRC) follows. We ask for volunteers to be on the PRC and
solicit plays from audience members and directors alike. Each committee member is required to fill out an assessment form for each play read and there are meetings where each is discussed and a final selection made to present to the board. We strive to provide a balanced mix of two comedies, two dramas, a mystery or farce and a musical in our season selection. READERS THEATRE Some respondents sought clarification about the status of readers theatre and our plans to restart the Naked Stage. Although LLT owns the name “Naked Stage”, in order to avoid confusion in the marketplace, we have decided to call LLT's readers theatre ART (Ajijic Readers Theatre). It is the goal of Ajijic Readers Theatre to expand LLT's suite of offerings to include our own readers theatre, while continuing to be a good neighbor among the area’s performing arts groups. We will: • Pay royalties for all performances, as required by law. • Conduct auditions for all plays. • Work to avoid scheduling conflicts with other theatres at
Lakeside. • Provide a safe environment while opening under COVID-19
guidelines – initially ART will be staged on the open-air terrace with seating for approximately 40 individuals while maintaining a minimum of 6 feet social distancing.
• After the COVID-19 restrictions, provide a comfortable, air-cooled environment for maximum enjoyment of the performances in the newly renovated LLT McIntosh Auditorium.
We look forward to welcoming you to the first ART performance in the near future and we welcome play submissions from directors who want to direct in ART.

LAKESIDELITTLE THEATREPRESENTS!
Once again we have a wide choice of what to see. There are musicals, plays, operas and ballets at our fingertips. Just click on the live link below the picture.
Tangled Disney Cruise Lines 1 hour 2 minutes "Tangled: The Musical" is the newest original Disney Cruise Line stage spectacular. Presented exclusively aboard the Disney Magic, it combines a heartfelt story, an enchanting score and lavish
production numbers to showcase the thrilling adventure of Rapunzel and Flynn Rider as they face ruffians, thugs and a budding romance on an exhilarating journey of self-discovery.
The Winter's Tale 2 hours 25 minutes duration from the Barbican (2017) Cheek by Jowl’s production of The Winter’s Tale pairs irreverence and inventiveness with emotional clarity and power. Orlando James’ Leontes is a very modern monarch in his blue jeans, but he’s a creature of extremes. He latches on to the idea that his pregnant wife, Hermione, has betrayed him with his best friend, and is carrying a bastard, and won’t let it drop. Young Mamillius also has spectacularly volcanic tantrums. Like father, like son. Declan Donnellan – revisiting the play for a global tour, 20 years after the company’s famed Maly Drama Theatre production –
brings a typical intelligence to bear on the play. The cruelty of Hermione’s public trial is intensified by the use video, while the aggression of Leontes towards her is appalling, his madness unsettling and upsetting.
The Sleeping Beauty Royal Opera House 2 hours 23 minutes duration The wicked fairy Carabosse is furious she wasn’t invited to Princess Aurora’s christening. She gives the baby a spindle, saying that one day the Princess will prick her finger on it and die. The Lilac Fairy makes her own christening gift a softening of Carabosse’s curse: Aurora will not die, but will fall into a deep sleep, which only a prince’s kiss will break.
On her 16th birthday, Aurora discovers the spindle and pricks her finger. She falls into an enchanted sleep, and the whole palace sleeps with her. One hundred years later, Prince Florimund discovers the palace, hidden deep within a great, dark forest. He wakes Aurora with a kiss.
Porgy and Bess Metropolitan Opera 3 hours 10 minutes duration One of America’s favorite operas takes the big screen on February 1. James Robinson’s stylish production transports audiences to Catfish Row on the Charleston waterfront, vibrant with the music, dancing, emotion, and heartbreak of its inhabitants. “If you’re going to stage Gershwin’s opera, this is how,” raved the Guardian when the new production premiered in London in 2018. David Robertson conducts a dynamic cast, featuring the sympathetic duo of Eric Owens and Angel Blue in the title roles and an all-star ensemble that includes Golda Schultz, Latonia Moore, Denyce Graves, Frederick Ballentine, and Alfred Walker.
Tosca New Zealand Opera 2 hours duration Available from July 3 for 6 months Love, lust and political intrigue fill the world of a passionate singer. When a police chief imprisons her lover, Tosca takes matters into her own hands with dramatic consequences. Puccini’s timeless opera never ceases to provoke great emotions. Starring Orla Boylan as Tosca and Simon O’Neill as Cavaradossi, New Zealand Opera’s acclaimed production filmed for cinema release transposes the famous plot to Italy in the 1950s, shadowed by the mafia and post WWII politics. There are so many things available, many that we have written about before. Please explore the link by clicking here.
